True History of the Kelly Gang chronicles the life of Ned Kelly through a series of fictional autobiographical parcels addressed to the daughter he never knew, recounting his hardscrabble childhood in poverty, the injustices heaped upon his Irish immigrant family by a corrupt colonial police force, and his violent, legendary rise as a bushranger who became a symbol of working-class resistance against an oppressive British establishment.\n\nPeter Carey masterfully adopts the voice of Kelly himself — unschooled, passionate, and fiercely proud — crafting prose that is breathlessly urgent and grammatically raw, mirroring the barely literate hand of a man writing against time and certain death. Winner of the Booker Prize in 2001, the novel stands as a towering achievement in postcolonial literature, dissecting themes of identity, myth-making, class struggle, and the very nature of truth itself. Carey dares the reader to question where history ends and legend begins — and whether, in Kelly's Australia, there was ever any difference at all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49276133966043,"sku":"2026100009105-SECONDHAND","price":200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c9bab28a-7581-470e-a967-2e045294bb7d.png?v=1789092720","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009105-secondhand-true-history-of-the-kelly-gang-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
